@klimashkin, Could you take a look at line 47 position 46 of the file D:_PROJS\pastvu\app\node_modules\bcrypt\build\bcrypt_lib.vcxproj and see if it clues you in to what may be going wrong?

If nothing pokes out at you, could you please attach lines 45-49 of that file to this issue?

Thanks,

How can I catch this file (bcrypt_lib.vcxproj)? It's removing immediately if build failed)

[klimashkin]

I download bcrypt manually and put it to project node_modules folder.
Then I made node-gyp configure in bcrypt folder and got build/bcrypt_lib.vcxproj file

Then i saw Windows 8 set user dir in russian

<AdditionalIncludeDirectories>C:\Users\Павел\.node-gyp\0.10.26\src;C:\Users\Павел\.node-gyp\0.10.26\deps\uv\include;C:\Users\Павел\.node-gyp\0.10.26\deps\v8\include;C:\OpenSSL-Win64\include;%(AdditionalIncludeDirectories)</AdditionalIncludeDirectories>

And file coding was ANSI, so I watch it in utf-8, and user name became unreadable.
Than I transform file to UTF-8 and build finished ok!

Can node-gyp configure generate files in UTF-8 directly?

Sounds like this is a duplicate of #297, do you concur?

[klimashkin]

Yeah, it's the same

Same problem.
Need a fix.
